I'm just in the initial steps of using it but so far it is working great for me.

Pros

The support team is great. Answered all my questions in a timely manner. This software is very versatile. I have somewhat unique scheduling needs and Appointment Plus has been able to accommodate them.

Cons

It did freeze on me yesterday while I was working on my set up. I had to shut it down and restart it.

Scheduling clients quickly is the business problem being solved. It is quick to put in a client and schedule them leaving us more time to speak to more clients.

Pros

Ability to see the rooms and who is scheduled in the rooms we have at what time in a very clear set up

Cons

Difficult to change things in the system. Will give random error messages with no real explanation as to why they are happening. IT support very slow to respond when issues arise especially after updates to system.

Quinton, thank you for the review. We do appreciate you pointing out some positives on the system, but we also want to acknowledge the areas in which you have concerns. Regarding the error messages, we have addressed that issue and it is now resolved. I apologize for that. With regard to slow IT support response after system updates, we did have a recent post-release issue that took a little longer than normal to identify and resolve. But, it’s working correctly now. Thank you again for the review.

Pros

Loved that it had an app for my phone. Loved that we could break it up into several different schedules
Loved that it was webbased

Cons

Not a good fit for our office. We are a small college health services. Needed shorter appointment time blocks, needed to be able to block off time and certain appointments randomly based on scheduling conflicts. Needed less down time from the company. A little bit better customer service would have been nice

Despite the slightly tricky questions this is a great scheduling software that we have had great luck using for years now. I would highly suggest this over some other options out there as once you are set up it really is extremely user friendly.

Pros

There is great customer support and help setting up your Scheduler and users. If you have multiple offices there is also the ability to handle that as well. I find the appointment reminder email to our patients to be perfect. You can allow them to confirm or reschedule and if you choose to add this to your website they can schedule an appointment themselves right online.

Cons

Some of the setup questions seem straight forward but can be a bit tricky and confusing as to the correct way to answer to assist the setup. If you schedule an appointment at the end of your day you have to adjust the length of time of the appointment to fit otherwise it will not allow you to schedule the appointment. Therefore, if you schedule until 4:00 then as some time on the schedule so that you can schedule that slot.

Loved it!

It was so helpful scheduling clients in different rooms, different times, with different therapists. A+ for the scheduling software.

Pros

I loved Appointment Plus because it allowed me to have multiple therapists schedules and multiple rooms. I never had duplicate sessions. It was easy to use and easy for our clients to schedule clients. This has been the best scheduling software I have used./

Cons

I had to stop using the software because we needed to maintain medical records in the same location. I changed software and really miss my experience with Appointment Plus.

For a basic scheduler it was okay. It was a but slow, not intuitive, but it would work if you didn't want specifics about your company. There are plenty of options that are geared specifically towards groomers that I am currently trying out.

Pros

We used this software after they said it was made for groomers. I quickly realized that it isn't, it's a generic scheduling software. I should have been more involved in the choosing of the software, but I left it to my grooming manager. Spent a lot of time and money setting this up only for the support staff to tell her months into the set up that it is not made specifically for grooming businesses (even after they told her it was). Very disappointing

Cons

No grooming features, sales team was misleading.

Although I really enjoy the color-coding and ease of google calendar, AppointmentPlus' front-facing feature makes my job so much easier because clients can book and cancel their own appointments by creating a username and login. The amount of messages in our business inbox has decreased significantly since we started using AP, which has been a huge time saver.

Pros

The override feature was very useful for being able to set a front-facing max, but gave the back-end users the option to schedule additional persons when necessary.

Cons

Takes a long time to sync with google calendar if you are creating recurring sessions for several months. Does not sync with google calendar if you are creating a past event.

Also you have to hit refresh all the time to see if anyone new scheduled or dropped out.

Having appointments made for me remotely.

Pros

I like that is easy to use and allow to block specific period of time during one day. You can also use different locations (if you are in the manager team) and you can view all your appointments in list format.

Cons

The app is easy to use but professionals could benefit from features like easily linking appointments to the google calendar, or receive alerts when appointments are being booked or send an email. It could also be helpful if it would allow you to block more than one block of time at the same time.

We use the system every day. The mobile app is really helpful. It’s useful for our remote employees that aren’t always close to their computers. They’ve really improved the mobile app in the last year or so.

Great product. Love the quick answers to questions I receive.

Cons

I don’t have any cons. The team has been supportive and receptive to ideas and changes. Working through the platform over the years, I have seen many iterations. They are definitely heading the right direction!

Pros

We've had trouble finding the right scheduling system. We tested a number of them, but settled on AppointmentPlus. The main reason is that it has more configurability for our complex scheduling process. They had a trainer help us get it set up. That was free, which was pretty cool. Once it was up and going, we've had very few questions. It has been very reliable. We're happy customers.
The Good News:
-Configurable - lots of settings and rules
-Intuitive - easy to work with appointments and run reports
-Training - I thought it was great that we had a real person training us

Cons

Looks - the interface looks a little dated, but it works just fine. This is why I only gave 4 stars on features.

Pros

The platform is very user friendly and allows for our community in Indianapolis to use Appointment Plus so the community can view open space in Emergency Shelter and then reserve the space for households in need. Everyone that we have worked with in support team and our account representative have been easy to work with and have met our needs with this atypical use of their system. The training was simple and easy to facilitate which helped our community use a new software to provide access to emergency shelter in a way Indianapolis has not been able to do prior. As far as cost, it was far below what our other more custom options were with a far simpler view and process.

Cons

Some of the functions of the software are not items we use for our application. We wish we could hide a few more of these but it does not affect the reliability and function side that we need.

Steven, thank you for your review of AppointmentPlus. I appreciate your kind words on how the software is intuitive and easy to use. You also talked about our customer support being extremely helpful. It can oftentimes be a cliche for companies to advertise that they provide outstanding customer support, but time and again we get positive feedback from our clients on our service. In today's impersonal world, clients tell us that it's refreshing to get to speak with a friendly, knowledgeable person when they have a question. Thanks for pointing that out, and thank you for taking the time to write us a review. It is very much appreciated.
